BURTON, MI – Two 16-year-old Flint boys are
facing assault charges after they allegedly punched a 52-year-old teacher from Otisville in the head while he shopped at Wal-Mart then posted video of the alleged attack online as part of the
so-called "knock-out" game.

The assault took place around 7 p.m. March 17 at
the Wal-Mart on Court Street in Burton.

The man was shopping alone when a teen ran up
and punched the man while another teen filmed the attack with a cellphone, according to police.
They then fled the scene.

The victim, a teacher at an area school, suffered minor injuries, police said.

Burton police Lt. Mike Odette said one of the teacher's students saw video of the alleged attack on a social media site.

Police were able to identify the teens with the help of
someone else who recognized one of the teens on the video, Odette said.

Odette said police have not been able to locate the video online.

When the teens were brought in, Odette said they admitted it was them.
